I Section 3. This project is exempt under CEQA guidelines section 15061(b)(3) in that it
2 can be determined with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity regulated by this
3 ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
4 Section 4. This ordinance is declared by the City Council to be an urgency measure
5 necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. The facts
6 constituting such urgency are: on May 31, 1997, the City of Petaluma Skate Park Facility was
7 opened to the general public. At the current time, there is no ordinance in place requiring that
8 users of the park use protective equipment. Requiring users to wear protective equipment is
9 deemed necessary to protect the users of the facility from injury. In order to immediately protect
10 and preserve peace, health or safety, it is necessary for this ordinance to be declared an urgency
11 ordinance.
12 Section 5. This ordinance shall become effective immediately upon passage by four -fifths
13 vote of the City Council.
